Rajah dat,Tanx for the refrence bro!

[IanCurtisWishlist]

Ahhhhh Beaverton. What a nice little city. It's really close to Portland, which you'll enjoy! ( Make sure you don't buy your weed at the waterfront park :) )

If you are looking to get your medical marijuana papers in Oregon, you will need to have a legitimate ongoing medical issue. You need 6 months of medical history with a physician before you can even think of getting your medical MJ recommendation. Long story short: It isn't as easy as in California, but if you insist on smoking the most dankest of the cannabis flowers, this will legally permit you to grow your own.

I have noticed that so many people from Hawaii move to the Portland area--I've talked to a few people , mostly on the street, who say they are from Hawaii.

Heck yes man awesome choice! I just went there last month for a week and I'm sold, my state sucks ass I can't wait to move to OR. And actually Beaverton as well! It's green there (lol, no pun) and air is cool and fresh.. sigh :jointsmile:

[IanCurtisWishlist]

forget about finding co-ops. it's not like california -- there are no cannabis clubs that will sell you marijuana in a store like in oakland.

your best bet is to grow your own weed after you get your medical papers, or find a very reliable drug dealer who you don't absolutely hate (and it can be VERY HARD sometimes to find a good drug dealer)..

oh and if you go to portland, don't buy your weed at the waterfront park, whatever you do!!!!!!!!!!!

[StickyfingahZ]

*Note to self*
Do not Buy weed from Waterfront Park*
I know it must be a good reason for it,but why?Vice.rip offs?
Thanks for the heads up on this bro,appreciated.
So what your saying is I need a review of 6 months before obtaining or applying for a card?
I have Chronic back pain that does get into the 10's on a scale of 1-10.But it aint like I am crying all day and confined to a wheel chair.But it hurts bad and the MJ helps a big deal.I cant walk very far before I have to sit down and even then it cant be just any chair......folding chairs are out of the question.
Does it matter if my doctor here has been treating me for about a year with MJ?Or is it that I have to be under the care of an Oregon Physician for 6 months?
I hope it aint the latter,I hate being without MJ,without it I end up taking large doses of other meds and it hurts my stomach bad,I mean I could do it,but I dont want to,you know......

Thanks everyone for your guys help,cant wait to get up there to Oregon.I love Hawaii and it is my home,but Traffic is sheddy and Cost of living is worse and all my family is up in the mainland,We cant make it on one income......

I'de go with dealer, "drug" dealer doesn't sound right for someone who just sells pot. (assuming that's the case) :jointsmile:

As for clinics with docs in the portland area, there are really only two that specialize in MMJ.



Mothers Against Misuse and Abuse - A Rational Approach to the Issues of Drug Use. (http://www.mamas.org)

and


The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation, THCF Medical Clinics, Medical Marijuana Doctors, Medical Marijuana Clinics, Serving The Cannabis Community Since 1999 - Medical Marijuana as treatment for chronic pain, chronic nausea, AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, chronic (http://www.thc-foundation.org/)


Either of them can get you your card.

[BoondokBud]

LIKE THEY SAID CHECK OUT THE VOTER POWER WEBSITE. OREGON BASICALLY HAS LEGAL POT, IT ISN HARD TO GET A CARD. GET A HOLD OF THE OREGON HEMP AND CANABIS FOUNDATION BY RICK MOSS. THEY OPERATE IN LIKE 5 NORTHWEST STATES, AND THEY WILL HELP YOU THROUGH EVERY STEP TO GETTING YOUR CARD, AND THEY WILL EITHER HELP YOU GET STARTED GROWING, OR HOOK YOU UP WITH SOME SORT OF CO-OP. IF YOUR IN OREGON, THATS THE WAY TO GO.

[StickyfingahZ]

Right on guys.
The thing is I dont have any insurance,because I am still filing my dissability and I havent worked for awhile.....So I been looking for these low income clinics,Im not sure if they would help me,i mean I am new here and all.I did contact mama's and they told me how much it would cost....So I sent my doctor in hawaii the request form and they told me it has to be requested from the doctors office in Oregon,I just cant send it in to them.
Anyone here in Oregon gone to one of these low income clinics to get a recommendation?

[GrinKyle]

Its all about $ for these places... having to get the money to pay that doctor to say "ya" or "nay" and for some reason it can cost over 300$.

At least it did a year ago when I went in. To bad the bullshit thing is, I need a current medication to OVERride with cannabis, which I dont.

[the image reaper]

you're not going to find any insurance companies that will cover medical marijuana expenses, of any sort :smokin:

[GrinKyle]

Just to add:

Did you ask your doctors office in Hawaii for your medical records and they will only send them to a doctors office?

If thats true, thats un-heard of. They are YOUR medical records, and its your right to have/see them via copies.. depending on how big they are, it might cost you $10-20 for the office to copy, and mail them to you.

I keep mine in a 3inch ring notebook, and doctors are always astonished that I know/have so much info on my own body. (which makes me kinda mad cause, well, its my fucking body)

Hmmm...Good point,I never thought of that.Im gonna have to call them up again and ask that.I just assumed it was some kind of law.but it makes sense it is my body.

Getting your records should be simple, unless Hawaii has special rules and laws. You call your Doc, ask for the form to have your records released to your new Dr.! Fill out the form and send it to your HW Dr. and then magic, your records go!

I'd stay in HW if it were me. However, Oregon is definitely on my top 2 list! The laws for compassion are better in Oregon. I believe I will end up there if the other states don't get in line with Oregon's other medical laws.

If your Doc in Hawaii doesn't comply look up the way to turn them in to the state! I can't think of the name of it this minute--been a long time since I turned a doc in for mal-practice a 2 year old would know better than to do! P/R Best of luck to you I've read lots of your threads and really thot i should think Hawaii. I just need a change. Been less than 30 miles from where I was born for 55 years now! Only person in my blood line that has never left. compassion your way!

Plus, your clinic in O can request them directly from your Dr. Something is wrong here!

Have you moved yet? Just a thot, you may want to finish your disability in HW, with the economy, I haven't heard of one deseving person getting on disability from a new standpoint. Plus, some states disability pay is larger! P/R Have mother in law move in with you! It is a hard choice from HW to O. Guess your wife is a very good match for you! Sounds good!

We have others from Oregon you have not heard from. Try out old threads!!! I've read a lot of great stuff about compassion, etc. there.

Most clinics offer a discount for disability patients--well, some. One was listed to you. So, use your phone a bit. The internet isn't everything. P/R

I would suggest you hook up with the THC Foundation. That would be your best bet to try first. You can search the web for their site. And like what was said above, they cannot deny you your medical records fax them a copy of your ID notorized. You will need them for the THC Foundation. No records, no authorization. :thumbsup:

[StickyfingahZ]

Either My post got deleted or I didnt submit the reply,lol
I had Gone into THCF on monday morning and faxed over my medical release forms around noon,I called my doctors office the otherday to see when they sent it,One person said they never got the fax,another said they saw something but not sure,and the third said They would do it later.I was kinda afraid to push them that it was imortant,cause they might take longer,lol But I got my money to pay the fee's,I have my ID,which is basicaly my Hawaii Drivers License with a Oregon state Sticker on it with my new adress,but I showed THCF and they said it was acceptable.Im just waiting for the records and a phone call telling me to come in.
PR-I learned about those things after I moved and Im still kicking myself for it.....I recieved benefits in Hawaii from the state and it was more than double what is given in Oregon,I also found out they dont offer Adult medical Coverage in ORegon....and these free clinics I have been calling and going to,wont do those physicals I need to turn in my SSI papers.So it is kinda hard,but Im hoping my medical records got sent in and I can find a doctor that will do my physical I need.
Thanks again you guys,its pretty frustrating.

Hello and welcome to Oregon - if you guys moved.

I assume you've found the answers to the specific questions you asked, but, if not, I've lived here for 20-odd years.

I just registered today while searching for troubleshooting ideas - I saw one or another of your posts, so feel free to ask just about anything here.

BTW, there's a recent Fodor's guide for Oregon that should help get you oriented to your new home. Get it at Powell's on Burnside in Portland.

Regards
